Empty Chairs At Empty Tables
There's a grief that can't be spoken
- There's a grief that can't be spoken
- There's a pain goes on and on
- Empty chairs at empty tables
- Now my friends are dead and gone
- Here they talked of revolution
- Here it was they lit the flame
- Sang here they about tomorrow
- And tomorrow never came
- From the table in the corner
- They could see a world reborn
- And they rose with voices ringing
- I can hear them now
- The every words that they had sung
- Became their last communion
- On the lonely barricade at dawn
- Oh my friends my friends forgive me
- That I live and you are gone
- There's a grief that can't be spoken
- There's a pain goes on and on
- Phantom faces at the window
- Phantom shadows on the floor
- Empty chairs at empty tables
- Where my friends will meet no more
- Oh my friends my friends don't ask me
- What your sacrifice was for
- Empty chairs at empty tables
- Where my friends will see no more
